Frequently asked question

What is a subsanación and how do I handle a correction request?

Updated 2026-07-30Reviewed by EcuaPass team

A subsanación is a correction request issued by the Ecuadorian visa authority when an application is missing a document, contains an error, or needs additional evidence. The response deadline and submission method are stated in the notice or current procedure; do not assume every route uses the same 10-business-day window. Common requests involve name mismatches, expired documents, financial evidence, or translations. EcuaPass can review the request and coordinate the response, but the applicant must obtain and submit any corrected documents by the applicable deadline.
